WSM charcoal ring in kettle

[Lemans]

I love my Weber charcoal baskets but I want something that holds more
Brickettes for longer and hotter temps in the center for searing. I was
Thinking of putting the charcoal ring from my WSM 22 under my gourmet
Rack ( with the removable 10" grate) , but after looking at the two of them
It is too big. Do you think the one from the wsm 18 would fit or maybe the 14?

[Darko]

The 18 would probably fit.

You can also make your own out of expanded metal. Then you can customize it to whatever size you like.

I use one in my vintage kettles to keep the coals off the sides


But if you made it taller and smaller it would be great for steaks.

I just cut it to the size I wanted and used stainless steel bolts and washers to put it together

The Vortex would be perfect for this job if you're looking for an excuse...
